Guest guest Posted May 16, 2005 Report Share Posted May 16, 2005 Hi all, Unite For Sight has many new volunteer opportunities in Africa, Asia, Latin America, and Eastern Europe for Summer 2005, Fall 2005, and Spring 2006. Opportunities are available in rural villages, urban locations, and refugee camps (including in the tsunami region). You can read about all of the opportunities at http://www.uniteforsight.org/intl_volunteer/ Unite For Sight volunteers implement outreach programs to prescribe eyeglasses, implement eye health education, and screen for cataracts, pterygium, and other eye diseases. All patients with eye disease are referred to the closest quality eye clinic for diagnosis, treatment, and surgery. This new form of delivery enables sustainable programs while simultaneously reducing all of the barriers to health care, including financial, transportation, and education hindrances. Unite For Sight's model also reduces costs and expands the ability of all people to " Unite For Sight " and help in the fight against blindness. The Unite For Sight programs are open to individuals 18 years and older, and there is no upper age limit. Undergraduate and medical students, public health professionals, nurses, educators, optometrists, and ophthalmologists are especially encouraged to apply. Sincerely, Staple Founder, President & CEO Unite For Sight www.uniteforsight.org Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 17, 2005 Report Share Posted May 17, 2005 Hi , I have met the contact person you introduced me to in Kenya, we agreed that they pick documents that would lead them to further discussions and decissions but they have not come and yet time is running out. We will wait, but tentatively they indicated that we could have the volunteers in July. Let me know for sure if the volunteers will come. Thanks, Jenipher Stay connected, organized, and protected.
